I’ll be on the ground in Minneapolis for the next few days for Rolling Stone. If you or anyone you know is helping to organize your community to protect itself from ICE (or just helping them cope with the tragedy of Renee Good’s death), I’d love to speak with you

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

Hey folks, just saw a thread of people getting rage baited by some 10 follower Twitter tourist. They're here to piss in the pool, because their pool is nothing but piss. If you want to screenshot names for blocking, aces, but I strongly suggest just block. Deny them the dopamine hit of cruelty.

“why do people use works of fiction to illustrate the evils of fascism instead of real life history” idk dude everyone’s been so under-taught and over-propagandized to that sometimes the only way for the truth to sneak in is with the shroud of fiction

Hey, CBP isn't allowed to do any of the stuff it's doing in Minneapolis even within the confines of its extremely ridiculous "100 miles from any border" jurisdiction. It's 300 miles from Canada and 160 miles to Lake Superior. They're breaking the law standing around, let alone beating up protesters.
Border Patrol typically only has legal authority within 100 mi. of the U.S. border. That raised questions when Cdr. Gregory Bovino was at the scene of the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
MPR News spoke with legal scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández about that agency’s jurisdiction in Minnesota.

Rumor going around town that ICE is going to be targeting local schools during drop offs and pick ups. Had to have a serious conversation with other parents about strategies to keep our kids and their parents safe. People are crying, terrified. But at least we’re free from terrorism

Kind of feels like people are fucking pissed
A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

the entire debate cis people have about trans people is moronic to start but it’s also a debate most trans people don’t care about, being that if we are viewed as “real women or men” or not. no one gives a fuck. it changes nothing about the reality that transitioning rocks

I am so sick and tired of professional athletes telling kids they have to "exercise" and "practice" and "eat right" to become world-class athletes. That sort of gate-keeping has to stop! Today I'm announcing a new non-profit that provides unlimited steroids to any kid who wants to compete.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

There are many material reasons why Netflix owning WB/HBO sucks but the pettiest one I have is they suck at distributing their own work or building up any enthusiasm. They have failed their way to the top with a strategy that doesn’t benefit the work.

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

What I wish the “should people be permanently canceled?” conversation would be focused on is not whether or not a rich guy should get to keep being rich. At every club he goes to, Louis CK Is in a privileged position over the exact type of people he victimized. Is this okay to do to THEM? For HIM?

AI kind of feels like the endgame of this bit Graeber described in the original Bullshit Jobs essay: these people have been so thoroughly cleaved from any sense of purpose that they resent those who have one. They hate artists for their skill and think poverty should be the price of having a calling

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
